Everyday there are so many ways we can build stronger teams through effective leadership - leadership from every angle - not just by title.
I recently went kayaking. My friend and I set a goal to go fast (and you know we did - lol) - in order to succeed, we immediately had to communicate things like - which side will we paddle on first, we had to get into a rhythm as we went side to side, we had to agree on when we needed to paddle on the same side to straighten out or turn, we had to verbally agree on go - right, left, stop, faster, etc. AND we are both very strong wheeled women - so we let all that go as we worked towards our goal to go FAST instead of who was in charge.
We accomplished our goal of speed between our start and finish and then both talked about the team work and all the leadership lessons - yep we are crazy like that. It was cool - we didn't plan it ahead of time - it just happened - just like great team dynamics. When done right - it happens right.
